Famous quotes containing the words norman and/or thomas:

    That’s what I always say. Love flies out the door when money comes innuendo.
    Arthur Sheerman, U.S. screenwriter. Norman McLeod. Monkey Business (film)

    With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
